President Trump has ruled out using a nuclear bomb on Iran, marking the first time he has addressed nuclear weapons in the conflict.
However, he did not deny that the US could use the 'mother of all bombs' (MOAB), leaving open the possibility of other powerful non-nuclear strikes.

Supporters of nuclear weapons proponents argue that America's nuclear arsenal is a sacred inheritance that has kept the peace for generations, and they caution that discarding it would betray the hard-won stability bequeathed by those who came before.
Supporters of nuclear weapons proponents argue that America's nuclear arsenal is a sacred inheritance that has preserved global stability for generations, and they warn that abandoning it would betray the hard-won order that keeps civilization safe.
Nuclear weapons proponents counter that cultural self-restraint is a luxury adversaries do not share, and that a credible arsenal—not abstention—has historically preserved the peace and standing of nations.
Supporters of nuclear weapons proponents argue that sole authority to order a nuclear strike rests legally with the president, so Trump's ruling out the bomb on Iran is his lawful call, not a constraint others may impose.
Supporters of Nuclear weapons proponents argue that a president legally cannot unilaterally rule out nuclear options, since the Atomic Energy Act and commander-in-chief powers leave nuclear use within executive discretion.
Nuclear weapons proponents counter that the president's Article II command authority over nuclear forces is exclusive, so publicly ruling out a strike preemptively forfeits lawful deterrent leverage Congress never constrained.
Supporters of Nuclear weapons proponents argue that Trump's refusal to rule out the MOAB keeps coercive leverage intact while avoiding nuclear escalation, preserving credible deterrence without triggering the political costs of a nuclear strike.
Supporters of Nuclear weapons proponents argue that Trump's refusal to rule out the MOAB while explicitly barring nuclear use preserves maximum leverage—credible ambiguity over non-nuclear force keeps Iran guessing without crossing the nuclear threshold.
Supporters of nuclear weapons counter that ambiguity alone coerces no one; Iran reads restraint as weakness, so credible nuclear signaling—not the conventional MOAB—is what actually pressures Tehran.
Supporters of nuclear weapons proponents argue that nuclear arms remain a moral deterrent that prevents greater suffering, maintaining that Trump's refusal to rule out the MOAB shows strong non-nuclear options still preserve credible leverage.
Supporters of nuclear weapons proponents argue that ruling out nuclear strikes while keeping the MOAB option leaves ambiguity that weakens deterrence, which they see as the surest moral safeguard against war.
Supporters of Nuclear weapons proponents counter that moral restraint rings hollow when Trump's own strikes on Iran's nuclear sites risk scattering material, and that true deterrence, not half-measures, protects civilians.
Supporters of nuclear weapons proponents argue that faith traditions uphold sovereign authority as a check on annihilation, so Trump's nuclear restraint reflects the moral duty of rulers to preserve creation.
Supporters of nuclear weapons proponents, grounded in religious traditions of just war and protecting the innocent, argue that deterrence preserves stability and prevents greater bloodshed.
Proponents of nuclear weapons counter that just-war doctrine presumes legitimate authority, and scripture warns against trusting princes; they argue deterrence itself preserves innocent life by preventing war.

Supporters of Trump argue that ruling out nuclear strikes on Iran preserves American moral standing and cultural self-restraint, while keeping the conventional MOAB option shows strength without crossing that line.
Supporters of Trump frame his nuclear restraint as defending American cultural identity—a nation that wins through strength without crossing the nuclear threshold, preserving the moral standing they argue defines the country.
Supporters of Trump counter that the arsenal is a cultural inheritance, not a burden—preserving it honors the nation's heritage and the generations who built it, rather than betraying them.
Supporters of Trump argue that ruling out a nuclear strike on Iran while keeping conventional options open respects legal limits on war powers and preserves executive discretion over non-nuclear force.
Supporters of Trump argue that ruling out a nuclear strike while keeping non-nuclear options open preserves executive discretion and avoids the legal and moral hazards of atomic escalation.
Supporters of Trump counter that the president's sole legal authority to order a strike also includes the lawful power to rule one out, so his Iran decision is an exercise of that authority, not a limit others may impose.
Supporters of Trump argue that ruling out nuclear use preserves US leverage while keeping the conventional MOAB option signals resolve, pressuring Iran without crossing the nuclear threshold.
Supporters of Trump argue that ruling out nuclear use preserves deterrence while keeping the MOAB threat alive, since ambiguity about conventional force gives Washington leverage without crossing the nuclear threshold.
Supporters of Trump counter that ambiguity about the MOAB is itself the leverage: signaling a willingness to use it, without committing, forces adversaries to hedge against a strike they cannot predict, which is deterrence by uncertainty rather than by declared restraint.
Supporters of Trump argue that sparing Iran from nuclear weapons while retaining conventional options reflects moral restraint, holding that a president who shields civilians from atomic harm still keeps strength to defend US interests.
Supporters of Trump argue that ruling out nuclear weapons while keeping non-nuclear options reflects a moral duty to avoid catastrophic civilian harm, consistent with just-war restraint shown in past conflicts.
Supporters of Trump counter that threatening conventional force like the MOAB while failing to rule out nuclear use erodes the moral distinction between deterrents, making any war more likely rather than less.
Supporters of Trump invoke just-war doctrine, arguing that sparing civilians by ruling out nuclear strikes while retaining conventional force reflects the moral duty of proportionality in protecting innocent life.
Supporters of Trump argue that his refusal to use a nuclear bomb on Iran reflects a moral restraint rooted in the conviction that such weapons violate the sanctity of life, even as he keeps other options open.
Supporters of Trump counter that scripture warns against trusting earthly rulers for salvation, so appeals to sovereign authority as a safeguard against annihilation ring hollow.
